Yankee ShreWdness.

A Northern shoe merchant set up q
shop in Vicksburg several years ago.
and buying his stock of the manufao-
turer he had always dealt with. with
out reference to any peculisrities
among his new patrons, found himself
loaded with an absolutely unstable
lot OF shoes. At first he thought his
case was hopeless, and then noticing
that the few small numbers he had
were too small really for the people
that called for them, he tumbled to the
real state of the case. The Vicks-
burg ladies were greatly gratified at
his automatically loud avowals that he
had bought his stock all wrong through
ignorance of the tininess of the South
ern foot. and when he at considerable
expenditure of time and ingenuity.
managed to mark large part of his
stock over again and invited them to
come and see his goods bought for lit
tie feet, he drove a good trade, and he
says saved himself from bankruptcy.
As fact. however. he did have a few
boxes of advanced sizes for which he
had no call whatever.-N J. Graphic.

Cold Prisoners.

There has been a controversy among
the authorities as to whose business it
is to purchase stove for the city cal
aboose, and the result is, that one or
two of the past cold nights have made
it pretty severe for the prisoners.
Marshal Jackson says he has no
authority to purchase stove, and the
city council don't seem to be disposed
to take hold of the matter, or at least
they haven't, and it begins to look as
though the prisoners were going to be
compelled to hubble together and keep
warm among themselves, providing
they are all placed in one cell.

THE CONGO PiGMlES.
A Race Of Caaniag Illiputians Living I'm the
Heart of Africa.

A Race Of Caoniag I&liputtans Living I'm the
Heart of Africa.
ROMEO de Leo, who travelled many
years in Africa with DR.. Livingstone,
was one who almost stood out alone in
the assertion that a race of dwarfs
lived in Central Africa. In his lee
lures in America he told of q little
people who fled to the clefts of the
rocks when the explorers approached.
c. Eugene Wolff, who travelled many
years with Stanley, and who is now in
the city, gives some queer accounts
of these dwarfs. "On the southern
branches of the Congo" said he to a
reporter, 81 have seen whole villages
. of these Liliputsns- They are a gen.
erous little people, who live in rude
huts and clear ground. engaging in
varied sorts of agriculture. They are
also skilled hunters and thew make
palm wine. They are as 1.-the and sup
pie in climbing trees as monkeys or
balloons. although they are physically
as perfect men as any of the giant
tribes thereabout, and they know as
much. The men are not over four feet
and half high, while the women are
3 good deal smaller. These tiny little
men are both brave and cunning.
They are experts with the bow and ar
row and readily bring down the Afri-
can bison. antelope and even elephants
with them. As trappers of small ami
mails they are unsurpassed. In close
pinch they use the lance with astonish-
ing dexterity. and an ordinary sling in
their hands is welded with wonderful
skill. The dwarfs collect the sap of
the palm, with which they make soap.
The men are smocth-faced and of a
rich mahogany color, while the hair is
short, kinky and as black as night.
Tens of thousands of them live on the
south branch of the Congo. They are
an affable. kind-hearted people, Of
simple ways and devoid of vicious
tendencies to a greater degree than
most semi-barbaric races. The women
are industrious and amiable. Very
queer these people look alongside the
great swarthy blacks further up the
Congo. The latter are of prodigious
size, uncouth, rude TO the remotest de-

though Mr. Carlisle would not permit the
question of the repeal Of the tobacco taxes
TO be submitted TO the last session, he and
his friends have decided since then not
TO permit it TO be submitted. but to favor
the repeal. / am told, however, that they
will not consent TO the abolition OF any
other internal tax. Ii the repeal of the
tobacco tax shall be submitted as a separ-
ate proposition, the Republicans will I'M
doubleday accept it, for that reduction
alone would bring the revenue receipts
down about S2S,0O0,0 in one year: if,
however, the proposition be connected
with one 10 reduce customs duties in the
hope OF thereby curtailing the amount Of
current revenue, the measure will be re-
sisted by the Republicans. The Rcpub-
lican attitude ON the question might he
thus summed up TO its free trade oppo-
nents; the object TO be obtained is a reduc-
ton OF revenue, and this is the only means
81 averting commercial and financial
crisis, which may be as much greater in
its tornado like effects than those of 1887
and 1887, and is the magnitude of the
manufacturing, financial and other inter
ests OF the country greater Yet you pro-
pose TO us TO make such changes in our
tariff as will, by inviting increased impor-
tations, cmbarrass many of our productive
industries while increasing the daily re-
ceipts of the country, in spite of the repeal

five or six miles south Of the international

Grand Marais are 30 called ancient dig
gings" Of rich silver mines, worked, rs is
supposed, by ancient Toltccs. These gold
discoveries are about dozen miles north
east Of this location, where land Is pretty
generally taken up, though considerable
supposed valuable mineral land remains
vacant. The gold has a very dull, yellow
appearance. Two kinds Of samples were
shown, one taken from near the shore Of q
small lake and the other in quartz The
Spencer brothers also brought here few
specimens Of rich native silver and q cur
